For four months, Venator-TheThird and I have kept the Unification Shortlisters trapped on Planet Unification, pushing them in ways they never thought were possible. And now, four months later, twenty writers out of thirty-seven Shortlisters have risen to the top to place their flag on Unification's moon. The competition was tight, and everyone fought a rigorous battle, even those who weren't shortlisted. 

With that said, Venator and I are happy to announce these fantastic and underrated Wattpad/Unification writers. We expect you to reach even higher heights once you leave Unification, ready to continue practicing, writing, and growing. I see Wattys Winners, Ambys Winners, ONC Winners, and published writers in this list. And remember, even if you didn't win, that does not mean your writing is bad; it only means that judges can't be biased. 

Looking past the judging, every writer who entered Unification this year is a winner. We ask you... Never give up. That's the only way you'll continue growing. And no, I'm not shedding a tear while I'm typing this.

After four months of reading and judging, it's time for all these writers to fledge, and we'll meet you wherever your writing journey takes you next.

It's time to announce the 2025 Unification Winners and Grand Winners!
